| the complete mitochondrial genome of lesser long-tailed hamster cricetulus longicaudatus (milne-edwards, 1867) and phylogenetic implications. | the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of cricetulus longicaudatus (rodentia cricetidae: cricetinae) was determined and was deposited in genbank (genbank accession no. km067270). the mitochondrial genome of c. longicaudatus was 16,302 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rna (rrna) genes, 22 transfer rna (trna) genes and one control region, with an identical order to that of other rodents' mitochondrial genomes. the phylogenetic analysis was performed with bayesian ... | 2016 | 25090399 |
| echinococcus multilocularis and echinococcus shiquicus in a small mammal community on the eastern tibetan plateau: host species composition, molecular prevalence, and epidemiological implications. | the eastern part of the tibetan plateau is now recognized as an endemic region with the highest reported human infection rates in the world of human alveolar echinococcosis (ae) caused by echinococcus multilocularis. existing epidemiological studies on ae have mainly focused on the synanthropic environment, while basic parasitological and ecological aspects in wildlife host species remain largely unknown, especially for small mammal hosts. therefore, we examined small mammal host species composi ... | 2018 | 29769131 |
| complete mitochondrial genomes confirm the generic placement of the plateau vole, neodon fuscus. | the plateau vole, neodon fuscus is endemic to china and is distributed mainly in qinghai province. it is of public health interest, as it is, a potential reservoir of toxoplasma gondii and the intermediate host of echinococcus multilocularis however, genetic data of this species are lacking, and its name and taxonomy are still a controversy. in the present study, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the entire mitochondrial (mt) genome of n. fuscus and analyzed its evolutionary relationship. ... | 2019 | 31262975 |
| complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the chinese scrub vole (neodon irene). | the chinese scrub vole (neodon irene) belongs to the subfamily arvicolinae, which is restricted to mountain areas at high altitudes (2800-4000). in this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of n. irene. it was determined to be 16,367 bases. the nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand protein-coding genes of n. irene and other 22 rodents were used for phylogenetic analysis. bayesian inference (bi) and maximum likelihood (ml) were used. both the bi and ml trees demonstrated th ... | 2011 | 21864030 |
| how quaternary geologic and climatic events in the southeastern margin of the tibetan plateau influence the genetic structure of small mammals: inferences from phylogeography of two rodents, neodon irene and apodemus latronum. | phylogeographical studies that focus on the southeastern margin of the tibetan plateau are limited. the complex terrain and unique geological history make it a particularly unusual region of the tibetan plateau. we carried out a phylogeographical study of two rodent species neodon irene and apodemus latronum using the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences. high genetic diversities and deep phylogenetic splits were detected in both rodents. some haplotypes from one sampling region fell into d ... | 2011 | 21298554 |
